KILLS THE BUSINESS.

saloonists Of PittsburK Not Ablo to Com
ply with tho Law.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 12.-The new
high license law passed by the last Legis-
lature promises to drive out Of the liquor
business not only those who cannot afford
to pay $500 license fee, but also many
wealthy dealers who will find it impossi-
bic to secure the necessary bondsmen to
become responsible for the faithful CON-
plieuce with the law. Up to the
close OF business Saturday only
$50 applicants for license for next
year had been Fl ed with the clerk
of the Court of Quarter Sessions. This
is considered small number in view OF
the fact that there are 5000 saloons in the
city. Dealers are experiencing no end of
trouble In securing bondsmen. Such
bondsmen will each become responsible
in the sum Of $4,000 for the payment OF
all fines, penalties or damages that may
be levied upon the dealer for any viola-
ton of the laws governing the sale OF
liquors. In attaching their names to the
bond the sureties also give power OF at
torney to the District Attorney to confess
Judgment in the sun named for the re-
covery Of all damages, costs, flnes and
penalties. The rropriesors of saloons In
the heart OF the city, those in the Fifth,
Sixth and Ninth wards, will suffer TO 8
greater extent than the others for the
want of bondsmen. AS the law has been
interpreted at present, the bondsmer
| must live id the ward where the saloon is
located. In the Fifth ward there are sos
saloons, and in the SIKH ward 260 So
looms. II all these places should be re-
licensed there would be 1888 different
bondsmen, and it is a well known fac

property owners In those wards

among those who would 60 on bond
| Nearly all property in these wards is o
a valuable character and the owners O
the same reside outside the ward il
Schuylkill county. Saturday was thu
last day upon which liquor licens'
could legally be filed and the clerk of th'
court was kept st his post until a la'
hour. About $50 applications were mad,
which is 500 less than last year.

THEY PROTEST..
Salt Lake City Wants Tariff Retained on
Imported Lead,

Salt Lake City Wants Tariff Retained on
Imported Lead.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Dec. IS. The
Chamber of Commerce of Salt Lake City
has adopted the following protest: Re-
solved by the Chamber of Commerce OF
Salt Lake City, that we protest against
the reduction of the existing tariff
duties on imported lead or lesd ores.
Such reductions would ruin thousands OF
our people, cause lead and silver mines
in this territory worth $5000.000 to be-
come total loss, reduce the freight
earnings of Utah railways so per cent =,
throw multitude of workmen out of EN-.
ployment, paralyze cur industries, and set
back the growth OF the Territory many
years. There can be no object
gained by reducing the duties on these
products sufficient to justify such enor-
nous injury to our people. A CORES
p1nding injury by such reduction would
be inflicted on the people Of all mining
states and territories, and the destruc-
ton OF silver and lead mining and smelt-
ing would reduce the annual production
of precious metals of the United States
$50, 1000, 900. It would also reduce the
entire business OF the east with the whole
mining region, and thus affect the freight
earnings Of all railroads OF the country.
The board of directors was authorized
to take such action for the protection OF
the Industries as may be deemed neces-
Sary.

Tho Cotton Worlds Report Shows Some
Remarkable Facts In this Connection.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Dec. 1.-THE Cot
ton World of yesterday says the details o;
overland shipments Of cotton direct to
the mills across the Oaio, Mississippi and
Potonsc rivers indicate q movement
commensurate with the remarkably rapid
movement Of the crop to the seaboard.
Direct shipments BY rail during Novem-
Der have never been exceeded In volume
during any one month. The net move
ment for November was 2S6 .607 b.les
against Is ,021 last year and 160, 1857
the year before. The overland
movement for the quarter ia
l245 bales larger than last year and 9045
greater than the preceding season. This
brings the total amount Of cotton ap-
pearing at the sea.osrd and points OF
crossing on the Ohio, Mississippi and
Potomac rivers for the first quarter of tne
year to sos ,678, an excess over last Sea-
SON OF $50 600 bales. The takings Of the
northern spinners are swollen by these
amounts and shipments 20 the ports to
4l6, 070 bales for November, the largest
on record for any one month, which
brings the total for the quarter 160, ZOO
bales in excess of 1886. Detailed re-
ports show the receipts at ports to the
close of November 3,043. 513 bales, against

A CRISIS.

Tho CheHokses Cali on tho United states to
Settle Their ID ifficuIty.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 19.-Advices
from Table quah, l. T., say political
crisis has been reached by the Nationals
calling On the United States government
to settle matters. They issued a circular
declaring that an irresponsible body of
men have taken forclble possession
Of the capitol aud executive office,
and ask that they at once be
disarmsd. They demand that the status
as 1t existed before the seizure be re-
stored. The Nationals Will then be
willing to refer to arbitration for settle
ment of the matters. The Downiugs
answer lndorsing the desire for peace, out
refuse to turn over the government to
Bushyhead, disciaiming that the capitol
is in the hands of an armed mob, but is
under the control of regularly elected
officers who were not regularly
sworn in, because of the negligence of
| the Nationals and as there was no legally
| qualified executive it became necessary,
to save the country from anarchy, for the
officers elected to take their seats. The
manifesto claims Gushyheed's term ex-
pred November Z. They accordingly de-
cine arbitration until it can be more
clearly shown that the laws of the
Cherokee Nation are not adequate
to determine such cases. Agent Owen
made talk to large msss-meeting of
both parties, and informed the people
that he had document signed by the
leading men Of each party pledgiDg peace.
He had telegrsphed the Indian Office at
Washington and commissioners would be
sent at once to settle the matter. The
National members of the Senate and
House refuse to obey Mays proclamation
of an extra session, and most Of them
! have gone horne.

was called to the case, when he immedt-
diately issued the following pardon:
Proclamation by the Governor OF the
! state Of Texas.
To all whom these presents shall come:
Whereas, st the February term, A. D.,
1886, in the District court of Parker coun-
~, state of Texas, W. 81. Paxton was con-
victed OF incest and sentenced 10 the pen
itentiary for two years; and, whereas it
appears from the case of Johnson vs.. the
State, 20 Ct. App, p. 609 7, that the said
PsX'on has been guilty of no offense.
Now, therefore, l, L. S. Ross, Governor
Of Texas, do by virtue OF the authority
| vested in me by the constitution and laws
IF the state, hereby, for the reasons speci-
fed, now on file in the Office of Secretary
Of State grant to said Paxton full pardon.
In testimony whereof I have hereto
signed my name and caused the seal of
state to be sfixed. At the city of Austin,
this, the l4th day of November, A. D. 1887.
l. S Ross, Governor Of Texas.
J. n. MOORE, Secretary Of State.
Mr.. Paxton was in the city yesterday
and stated to THE GAZETTE correspon-
dent that he WAS well treated while he
vas conhaed in the penitentisry. He
says that the management and employers
are ell very kind to those they have
charge of.
In the District court to-day the case OF
the State VS.. Steve Akers, charged with
cutting wire fence in May last was On
trial. The jury was impaneled and
the taking of evidence was begun.
Joe Guyles was convicted
st the lsst term Of the District court on
the same charge, and was given two years
in states prison at hard labor, and is Is
thought Akers will be convicted also, as
the same evidence is against him as was
against Guyles, as they were charged
| with the same offeuse claimed to have
| been committed at the same time. Guyles
was the first person convicted Of wire
cutting in the state, and Parker county
has the credit Of sending the nrst Of the
many wire cutters VINO have destroyed so
much property to the penitentiary.
